I pass through the HBA for Drivepool. I use Dell Perc H310 cards and the SMART data is all visible, as it should be because my Windows VM has direct access to the HBA.
 
edit: Wrong Chris I know, but hopefully helpful?  

Yeah i just figured it out myself, it didn't work even with registry imported,
This might take some time if i fill up all 60 drives someday..

Ah.  Mount point's don't really matter.  To DrivePool, or Windows really. 
So unless you're intending to mount the drive on the pool's path, there should be no issue. 

Only one?
 
That said, you want the "Drive Space Equalizer" balancer plugin.  That does what your expecting.

The "Volume Equalizer" only worries about data on the same disk, but different volumes/partitions.
 

Thanks for testing it Chris, managed to solve it with this

Looking forward for the new version then

So i can assume my problem will be fixed next version?
Also i have another question... does drivepool override smbbandwidthlimit?
I set the bandwidthlimit on win serv to 10MBps.. but copying from the share still gives me 30MBps

I have ubuntu server and i plan to install windows server 2012 on separate ssd using the same motherboard
Whats the fastest way to do this if i want to minimize downtime?
I plan to convert them all to NTFS first because ubuntu can still read NTFS..
Can drivepool read the result after that?

From an elevated command prompt, run this: 
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=highlyrestricted This should help with the weird delay/lag issue. 
 
If not, then try this:

Server is using Server 2012R2, right? (signature says so).
 
If so, I think there is some weird combination going on here causing this issue.  
I've seen it myself.  Though, I can get it to occur on a non-pooled drive occasionally, so I dismissed it as network issues (which I've had on and off). 
 
However, there is an active ticket for this, because you're not the only one seeing it (I mean unless it's your ticket). 

Ok.. in progress now.. will post if there's any problem.. thanks for the input guys!

close but i would format in the latest version of windows you have or the windows dp box first
 
reading and formatting on another os might be fine but windows may or may not like it - why take the risk with your data - especially after waiting hours for a copy to finish to find - oops!
